For those who love vibrant, glossy lips and radiant eyeshadows that shimmer, the disco glam aesthetic is an exciting trend to explore.
This style has gained popularity across a variety of platforms, from music videos and films to celebrity appearances and festivals. Initially embraced as an evening look, it has seamlessly transitioned to be suitable for any time of day. Notably, celebrity makeup artist Hannah Jaclyn has famously styled Miley Cyrus in eye-catching disco glam for her recent work, including her “Something Beautiful” music video. We consulted several makeup professionals to glean their insights on how you can master this captivating look.
Creating the Perfect Disco Lip
To achieve a glittery yet sheer lip effect, Jaclyn recommends beginning with a nourishing lip oil. This initial step hydrates the lips and eliminates any imperfections. Following this, she suggests applying Jouer’s lip topper, known for its high shine and exceptional staying power.

For a more luxurious appearance, Urban Decay’s global artistry head, Steve Kassajikian, suggests an unconventional technique: applying eyeshadow directly on the lips. Start by using a translucent setting powder to prep the lips before applying your desired lipstick. Then, using your finger, gently press a loose or pressed glitter eyeshadow onto your lips, finishing with a layer of gloss on top. For added dimension, consider lining your lips.
Kassajikian emphasizes the long-lasting nature of liquid lipsticks, making them ideal for all-day wear at events like music festivals. Below are some product recommendations from both makeup artists.

Mastering the Disco Eye Look
Both artists recommend starting with a base for the eyelids, utilizing either a cream or liquid eyeshadow or a specialized primer. This not only enhances the vibrancy of your glitter but also ensures longevity and minimizes fallout. Kassajikian suggests applying a powder glitter first, followed by a liquid glitter layer for added depth.
After the base, press powder eyeshadows onto the lids using your fingertip or a dense brush. For brush users, he advises misting the brush with setting spray prior to application. To catch any fallout, apply a layer of translucent powder beneath the eyes so glitter particles can be easily swept away. Kassajikian also mentions that liquid eyeshadows are often user-friendly and long-wearing. Here are some product suggestions from the artists.
